Vials and ampoules are expected to grow significantly due to the advancement and requirement of effective pharmaceutical packaging. On the basis of material type, the global sterilized packaging market can be segmented into glass, paper and plastic, wherein, plastic is further segmented into polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) and high density polypropylene, wherein, polyvinyl chloride is expected to grow at a fast pace over the forecast period. On the basis of sterilization method, the global sterilized packaging market can be segmented into chemical sterilization method, radiation sterilization method and high temperature/pressure sterilization method. On the basis of application type, the global sterilized packaging market can be segmented into food products and pharmaceuticals. Moreover, pharmaceuticals can be further segmented into surgical and medical instrument, medical implants, medicines, others.

One of the significant factors contributing towards the growth of the global sterilized packaging market is the government regulation towards effective packaging solution and stringent hygiene requirement subjected to pharmaceutical and food product. Moreover, advancement in the healthcare industry also provide opportunities to the global sterilized packaging market to grow exponentially. Another prominent factors contributing towards the growth of the global sterilized packaging market is the concern related to increase the shelf life of the product among manufacturer and retailers, which can be achieved by proper sterilized packaging solution. Furthermore, the rising health concern and increasing disposable income among the middle class population is generating a huge opportunity for retail food market which increases the requirement for sterilized packaged food and essentially drive the growth of the global sterilized packaging market. However, the restraining factor towards the growth of the sterilized packaging market is the packaging cost in terms of sterilization process. Moreover, another obstructing factor towards the growth of sterilized packaging market is the challenge related to maintain the packaging without being contaminated. In addition to this, government regulation towards the usage of plastic is expected to hinder the growth of sterilized packaging market.
